Git Colored PS1

This is Bash source for a Git prompt that shows you the status of your git repository every time you see the prompt.

• green = staged changes
• red = unstaged changes
• gray = untracked files

Example

I've found this to be invaluable when working with Git, since you don't have to type git status (or gs for those that made the alias) so often, and don't have to spend the time reading through the output.

Installation

Either source git-ps1.sh from your .bashrc or copy and paste the contents.

(appended to .bashrc)

source /<path>/git-ps1.sh
